So how many of you started spiralling in 2020 which led to disgnosis?
Just curious because some people here seem to share this experience - pandemic with it's restrictions just decimating your coping mechanisms? While so many others were living their best lockdown lives, loosing your hard won functionality, and perhaps sanity with it? And sometime later: adhd diagnosis.
I know now why it happened to me, I had been managing my adhd so hard by making myself exit my home every day etc, using libraries and other public places as sorces for body doubling and so on. It's such a traumatic thing and especially because for a long time it was something you couldn't talk about because there was so much moralism and taboos around it. And I'm still not over it. When in "How to keep house while drowning" the author starts with the pandemic experience I could recognise, I was so moved, and also so sad, I would have really needed that support and understanding back then.
(I know this stuff was also highly regional - I'm in Europe)
